IN his p9eu compares the sunset to the

nrson writing my text remembers som
n the gorgeous sunsets among the noun

often seen the towers of Damascus blsZe
N the close Of the Oriental days, and he
1,sbes cut that memory in the text when
he saws: "Let not TIE sun go down upon
YOUR wrath"

idi8,iC When Ananias, the high priest,
ordered the ceDs5ables of the courtroom

the EphesiAns: "Be ye angry and s9n
